- Inspector
- Livingstone C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would consist of building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building
- whether the development had begun prior to the submission of an application for prior approval
- whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to dwellinghouses
What decided it
The retention and conversion of the appeal building would be contrary to a condition imposed on a previous planning permission requiring the building's removal, which means the development does not comply with the GPDO and cannot constitute permitted development.
